Description

The appeal of a public square is well known and documented. So why is it rare to come across one from modern times that sits well in its environment, is well paved and furnished, has harmonious roof lines and is sheltered from the worst weather?

Most European towns and cities have many historic squares that are treasured by the community, but few in modern times seem able to produce the same sense of pleasure and well-being. This title addresses the problem and considers the refreshingly elegant designs for open public spaces by Pier Carlo Bontempi.
